For context, her leaves were limp, soft, and curled when they’re normally very stiff. I intended to not water for a month to wipe out any possible fungus gnats, but it was already looking a little thirsty before the heat happened. Pics from throughout the day.

@pokewatcher20 Hi It looks to me like it's stress from the temperature spike. In response to gnats bottom watering would be best. That way the roots will get a good watering leaving the top of the soil dry and less chance of attracting gnats. Snake plants like to dry out before watering. Check the soil and water when 2/3 of the pot is dry. Then water really well placing the pot in a bucket or larger pot of water allowing the plant to suck up water from the bottom up. I hope it's doing much better today. ☺️
